Definitions

• the present invention relates to a method for efficiently producing a high quality polyurethane.
• Polyurethane can be used as a raw material of resin and fiber having high stretchability due to excellent flexibility and elasticity. On the one hand, polyurethane can become also hard and tough by changing the chemical structure. In addition, polyurethane is very superior material due to excellent low temperature property, wear resistance, impact resistance, oil resistance or the like.
• Polyurethane is generally produced by reacting a diisocyanate compound with a divalent alcohol compound. Such an isocyanate compound must be preserved under strict conditions such as low humidity and low temperature, since an isocyanate compound is toxic, is highly reactive and is easily reacted with water.
• Polyurethane can be also produced by using phosgene in place of an isocyanate compound, and an isocyanate compound itself is industrially produced by reacting a primary amine compound with phosgene (Patent document 1 or the like).
• Phosgene is a toxic compound. For example, phosgene is easily reacted with water to produce hydrogen chloride and has a history of being used as a poison gas.
• a chlorine component remains in the compound.
• a polycarbonate produced from phosgene contains several dozen ppm to several hundred ppm of a chloride compound, even if the polycarbonate is exhaustively purified.
• a chlorine component also remains in polyurethane produced from phosgene, and the remaining chlorine component causes yellowing of polyurethane and adversely affects metals and living organisms.
• technology to produce polyurethane without using isocyanate compounds and phosgene has been studied.
• Patent document 2 and Non-patent documents 2 and 3 disclose a method for producing polyurethane by reacting a diphenyl carbonate optionally being substituted by a nitro group and a fluoro group with a diamino compound.
• a diphenyl carbonate itself is generally synthesized by reacting phosgene and phenol, and a method for synthesizing a diphenyl carbonate without using phosgene requires many steps (Non-patent document 4).
• the inventors of the present invention have developed a method for safely and efficiently producing a carbonate derivative such as diphenyl carbonate (Patent documents 3 and 4).
• Patent document 5 discloses a biscarbonate compound optionally having a fluoro group as a non-aqueous medium for a non-aqueous electrolyte of a secondary battery.
• the objective of the present invention is to provide a method for efficiently producing a high quality polyurethane.
• the inventors of the present invention repeated intensive studies in order to solve the above-described problems. As a result, the inventors completed the present invention by finding that an amount of the remaining fluoroalcohol compound as a by-product can be reduced by using the specific fluorocarbonate compound as a raw material to produce polyurethane, and even if the fluoroalcohol compound remains, the remaining fluoroalcohol compound surprisingly gives preferred properties to the polyurethane.
• Polyurethane can be produced without using a toxic isocyanate compound by the present invention method.
• diphenyl carbonate as the alternative of phosgene is also not needed to be used, and thus phenol, which is a by-product derived from diphenyl carbonate and causes the coloration and the decrease of the polymerization degree of polyurethane, does not remain.
• a fluoroalcohol may remain as alternated; however, an amount of the remaining fluoroalcohol is smaller than an amount of the remaining phenol in the case where diphenyl carbonate is used, and the remaining fluoroalcohol may give preferred properties to polyurethane.
• the present invention is industrially very useful as the technology to safely and efficiently produce a high quality polyurethane.
• the method for producing polyurethane according to the present invention comprises the step of reacting a fluorocarbonate compound represented by the formula (I) and a divalent alcohol compound represented by the formula (II) to obtain a biscarbonate compound represented by the formula (III), and the step of reacting the biscarbonate compound represented by the formula (III) and a divalent amino compound represented by the formula (IV) to obtain a polyurethane represented by the formula (V).
• each step is described, and the present invention is not restricted to the following specific examples.
• the "compound represented by the formula (x)" is hereinafter abbreviated as the "compound (x)".
• the fluorocarbonate compound (I) and the divalent alcohol compound (II) are reacted to obtain the biscarbonate compound (III) in this step.
• the desired properties such as high strength, flexibility and water repellency can be given to polyurethane due to the combination of R 2 of the divalent amino compound (IV) and R 1 of the biscarbonate compound (III) in the present invention.
• the biscarbonate compound (III) can be produced by reacting the divalent alcohol compound (II) and diphenyl carbonate, which is developed as the replacement of phosgene, as a conventional method, but phenol is produced as a by-product from diphenyl carbonate in this method.
• phenol is tried to be removed from the biscarbonate compound (III) by distillation, phenol is difficult to completely remove, since phenol is a solid under ordinary temperature and thus the viscosity of the crude composition increases with progression of distillation.
• the inventors of the present invention have experimentally found that the remaining phenol inhibits a polymerization reaction and also remains in the target polyurethane. The inventors found that the remaining phenol causes coloration of polyurethane, since phenol is very susceptible to oxidation.
• the fluorocarbonate compound (I) is used in the present invention against the prior art.
• a fluoroalcohol is produced as a by-product but can be distilled more easily than phenol. Even if a fluoroalcohol remains in polyurethane, a fluoroalcohol is much more difficult to be oxidized than phenol.
